Buenas yan håfa ådai! As part of Guampedia’s ongoing Culture of Connecting Educational Recovery project, funded by the Governor of Guam’s Education Assistance & Youth Empowerment grant program, our Crew has steered towards enhancing our digital newsletter for 2023!
To be more culturally relevant, we have aligned our newsletter schedule based on our CHamoru/Chamorro ancestors’ lunar calendar. The passing and the return of the seasons are in consort with the phases of each pulan (moon) - a total of 13 per sakkan (year). Like our haggan (turtle) mascot CHalani/Chalani, which means “guide,” every pulan issue will be curated to serve as a guide to fostering connections to our islands’ sense of place, our cultural heritage and history!
